Frosty

I found this article could be interesting for Fans. http://members.tripod.com/stickgrappler/wck/wslbl.html Here's a only a piece of the Article - At once I turned my left punch into a protecting hand and used my right hand to pierce towards his throat. Although we did not use much of our force, we both were hit. He jumped away, and said, "Leung, actually I hit you first. Do you think so?" I smiled and answered, "Don't take it seriously. Who first hit the other is not the most important thing. It is the strength of the hit that matters. You are right. Your hand hit first, but my protecting hand had already dissolved much of your power. Truly, if you strike with all your force, I may not be able to stand it, but if the power is greatly reduced, the strike will not be so effective. On the other hand, my hand also grasped your throat. If we had really fought, surely you would know who would have been hurt more badly."

I must doubt that Bruce beat Wong bad. He hadn't completed his Wing Chun training and he was fighting against a Grandmaster of the Northern Shaolin style. Higher techniques beat lower. Did Bruce ever completed the Wooden Dummy form? He was still far from mastering WC ...

I've found in interesting read about avoiding tackles here -https://www.wingchunkuen.com/wsl/readings/articles_tackling.shtml Are any other WC practioners aware of this method? And what are your thoughts about it? At my School they say you won't get tackled to the ground, but the article says something different here - "standing right in front of the attacker and expecting to "blow him away" with the deadly ferocity of our counter-attack is simply not realistic" I've also read that there are many interpretations of WC throughout the world. Is it considered disrespectful if i were to use a method from a different School as mentioned on the website above? Many Grandmasters are proud of being taught by Yip Man. But did Yip Man ever officially name a Successor? At my School they say Leung Ting. What do other Schools say, like Moy Yat, Wong Shun Leung, Ip Ching? I know it doesn't matter that much, but I'm just curious as if what my School is telling me is true or not.

There is this Chinese Fighter in the Movie "The Quest" with Jean Claude Van Damme, who fights like a Snake. Does anybody recognize the Art? Even though you prolly cant street-fight with the Style(Just like the Capoeira Guy), it still looks cool. Any Websites or Information would be nice. THX

I've found a Shootfighting School in my area which I will check out. Although I'm hoping that Ground Work will dominate, it looks like an All Round System. Has anybody heard of this Art or can refer a Website to look up. Giving me a hint if its strategy will conflict with Wing Chun would be nice.

Since I'm already learning a Stand-up Art, I wanted to add some Ground-fighting for Self-defense. In case I go to the Ground I don't want to be helpless. Is it possible to learn just the most effective techniques, instead of the whole system. Like I don't need good-looking fancy stuff, that prolly wouldn't work in a street-fight, just the most-likely-2-work moves. Or would this request to an Instructor be denied, as Judo is Sport-oriented with rules and not Self-defense to destroy opponents.
